Gemini rain is the AI rain effect that turns a normal photo into a cinematic night-rain shot: soaked hair, water drops on your face, soft blue light, your eyes closed and your face lifted to the sky. The couple version puts two people in the rain together. You need one clear selfie, or two photos for the couple.

What the Gemini Rain AI video looks like

This is the original reel that started the trend. Your video is a new clip made from your photo in the same style, not a copy of these shots. No two runs come out the same.

Original reel by @dop7qijpi2, 4 s

The clip that started the Gemini rain trend, from @dop7qijpi2's tutorial of 7 October 2025: an AI-made couple runs hand in hand through the night rain, then he lifts her up. Cut to the AI part. The Couple version makes a run and a close embrace in the rain from your two photos.

@pearl.akdnzz's reel of 9 October 2025, posted with the Gemini prompt this template uses: AI-made portraits in heavy rain, eyes closed, faces lifted to the sky. The Solo version makes this look as a video of you.

Step by step

How to make the Gemini Rain AI video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add the two photos

    Press "Create your own" and add partner 1, face clear (holds), then partner 2, face clear (leans in). Add them in this order, because the order decides who is who in the scene. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Gemini Rain AI Effect scene straight from your photos, with no in-between picture, for 10 seconds with original sound. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library.

Which photo works best?

Upload one selfie for Solo or Rain photo, or two photos for Couple: photo 1 is the one who holds, photo 2 the one who leans in.

  • Face to the camera, sharp and well lit, no sunglasses. The rain hides a lot, so a clear face matters more here.
  • From the chest or waist up. You keep your hair color and your clothes, made wet by the rain.
  • One person per photo for Couple, so each face lands on the right person.
  • Your hair: loose hair looks best wet, but any hairstyle works.
  • Use your own photos, or photos of someone who said yes. Adults only: never a child, a celebrity or a stranger.

Where did the Gemini Rain AI trend start?

The trend began on TikTok in October 2025. The hashtag #rainaieffect was created on 6 October, and on 7 October @dop7qijpi2 posted the first big clip, a tutorial for a couple in the rain: an AI-made couple runs hand in hand down a wet street at night, then he lifts her up (396,500 views by October 2026). Two days later came a solo tutorial called "Google Gemini Rain AI Effect Filter" by @tranghxhxbxb2 (1.7 million views by October 2026), and @pearl.akdnzz shared the Gemini prompt behind the look with a reel of rain portraits.

The name comes from Google's Gemini app, where people pasted that prompt to make the photo. The video effect most people used is a CapCut AI template, pushed by tutorial accounts as "The AI Couple Embrace in the Rain". It came back again and again: a couple tutorial of December 2025 that shows a lovers in the rain prompt has 3.3 million views, and new promoter posts started on 14 October 2026.

  1. The hashtag #rainaieffect is created on TikTok; by 17 October 2026 it holds 1,266 videos with 30.3 million views. TikTok

  2. @dop7qijpi2 posts the first big clip of the trend, a tutorial for a romantic couple photo in the rain; it has 396,500 views by 17 October 2026. TikTok

  3. @tranghxhxbxb2 posts the "Google Gemini Rain AI Effect Filter" tutorial (1.7 million views by 17 October 2026), and @pearl.akdnzz shares the Gemini prompt for the solo rain portrait (343,800 views). TikTok

  4. @uet6k8bbt5 posts an "AI Couple Embrace in the Rain" tutorial that shows a "Lovers in the rain" prompt on screen; it has 3.3 million views by 17 October 2026. TikTok

  5. Tutorial accounts push the couple effect again; by 17 October a new sound of the trend gains about 55 videos a day.

The Gemini Rain AI prompts

You do not need this: the one-tap flow runs it for you. [Image 1] and [Image 2] are your photos, in the order you add them: the video model takes them as a reference and films the scene straight from them, with no photo step first.

Video prompt

Ultra-realistic portrait photography: On a deep blue rainy night, the one in [Image 2] leans into the arms of the one in [Image 1], eyes closed, cheek against their chest, while the one in [Image 1] holds them close and rests the chin on their head. Rain runs down their hair, face and neck, soaking their clothes. The background is a blurred, cool-toned rainy night, filled with a moist atmosphere and a lazy, mellow mood. The lighting is delicate, with transparent water-droplet texture, featuring a cinematic blue tone. 8K resolution, 9:16 aspect ratio. The one who holds is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles). The one who leans in is the person in [Image 2], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles). Never blend their faces and never swap them. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. Each keeps the hair color and length from their own photo, only wet, and the clothes from their own photo, darkened by the rain, fully clothed and never see-through. Both are adults. If an image shows an animal, that one is the animal with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. One slow-motion film take at night on a wet cobblestone street under glowing streetlights, heavy rain in long silver streaks, puddles that mirror the lights. Vertical 9:16, both faces large and sharp. 0-3 s: the two run toward the camera hand in hand through the pouring rain, laughing, wet hair flying, splashes at their feet. 3-6 s: they stop; the one in [Image 1] pulls the other into a tight hug and they turn slowly once on the spot; raindrops burst off their shoulders. 6-10 s: a close shot from the chest up: the one in [Image 2] leans into the arms of the one in [Image 1], eyes closed, cheek on their chest; the one in [Image 1] rests the chin on their head and smiles softly; then they rest their foreheads together for a moment, rain running down their faces. The camera circles slowly. A few raindrops land on the lens. Sound: heavy rain, splashing footsteps, soft distant thunder, one slow romantic piano melody. No speech. Tender and romantic, never sexual: no kiss on the mouth, no body focus. Exactly two people. No umbrella. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.

Video prompt

A cinematic portrait of the person in [Image 1] standing in the rain, their eyes closed and face lifted peacefully towards the sky. Their hair is wet, with delicate water droplets glistening on their skin. Blue light reflects softly on their face, creating a dramatic and emotional atmosphere. High detail, 4K resolution, studio lighting, artistic rain photoshoot style. The person is the one in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last; never morph. The hair keeps the color, length and style from [Image 1], only wet. They wear the clothes from [Image 1], darkened by the rain, fully clothed and never see-through. If [Image 1] shows an animal, it is that animal sitting in the rain with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. One continuous slow-motion shot at night, vertical 9:16, a medium close-up from the chest up, the face large and sharp, a dark background with soft blue bokeh. Heavy rain falls in long silver streaks. 0-2 s: the person looks straight into the camera with a calm, soft face, drops running down the cheeks. 2-6 s: they slowly lift the face towards the sky and close the eyes, at peace; rain hits the forehead and cheeks and runs down the neck; wet strands of hair cling to the face; the camera pushes in very slowly. 6-8 s: they lower the chin, open the eyes and look back into the lens with a small, soft smile. A few raindrops land on the lens. Sound: heavy rain, soft distant thunder, one slow piano melody. No speech. Exactly one person. No umbrella. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.

The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything, and every run is a new take.

Which Gemini rain prompt does this template use?

The creators' own prompts, kept in their words and order:

  • Solo and Rain photo: the Gemini rain photo prompt @pearl.akdnzz shared on 9 October 2025: "A cinematic portrait of a young woman standing in the rain, her eyes closed and face lifted peacefully towards the sky. Her wet hair is braided, with delicate water droplets glistening on her skin. Blue light reflects softly on her face, creating a dramatic and emotional atmosphere. High detail, 4K resolution, studio lighting, artistic rain photoshoot style." We swap "a young woman" for the person in your photo and keep your own hairstyle instead of the braid.
  • Couple: the "Lovers in the rain" prompt that the most viewed couple tutorial (3.3 million views) shows on screen: ultra-realistic portrait photography on a deep blue rainy night, one partner leaning into the other's arms, rain soaking their clothes, a blurred, cool-toned rainy night and a cinematic blue tone.

On top we add the moves of the trend's clips, rules that keep each face from its own photo, and bans on text, logos and umbrellas. You do not paste any prompt yourself: pick a version, add your photos, press Generate.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
The face looks like someone elseUse a sharp, front-facing photo in good light, without sunglasses, and run it again.
The two faces look alike in the hugUse two photos where each face is large and clear. Swap the photos to swap who holds whom.
The face turned up to the sky looks less like youThat is the trend's pose; the clip starts and ends with your face to the camera. Pick Rain photo for the still look.
Your clothes look differentThe rain makes them darker and wetter on purpose. Pick a photo that shows your top clearly.
An umbrella or a third person appearsThe prompt bans both, but it can happen. Run it again.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

FAQ

Gemini Rain AI trend questions

What is the Gemini rain trend?
It is an AI rain effect that puts you in heavy rain at night: soaked hair, water drops on your face, soft blue light, eyes closed and face lifted to the sky. A couple version puts two people in the rain, running hand in hand and holding each other. The ai rain trend started on TikTok in October 2025 and keeps coming back.
How do I make the Gemini rain AI effect with my photo?
Pick Couple, Solo or Rain photo, press "Create your own" and add your photo, or two photos for Couple. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. The video waits in your Library when it is ready. You do not need a separate ai rain video generator, ai rain photo generator or gemini rain app: this page makes the Gemini rain AI effect video or photo.
What is the Gemini rain prompt?
The best-known Gemini rain prompt is the one @pearl.akdnzz shared on 9 October 2025: "A cinematic portrait of a young woman standing in the rain, her eyes closed and face lifted peacefully towards the sky..." (the full text is above). This template uses it, so you need no ai rain prompt, ai rain photo prompt, gemini rain effect prompt or ai rain effect prompt of your own, and no gemini rain trend prompt from a comment section.
Is there a Gemini rain couple prompt?
Yes. The couple tutorials use a "Lovers in the rain" prompt: a deep blue rainy night, one partner leaning into the other's arms, rain soaking their clothes, a cinematic blue tone. The Couple version is built on it, so a Gemini couple in rain prompt, a Google Gemini rain couple prompt, a Gemini AI rain couple prompt or a Gemini rain couple photo prompt is already inside. People also search it as a gemini rain photo prompt couple, an ai rain couple prompt, a couple in rain ai prompt or a romantic couple in rain ai prompt.
Can I make a couple in the rain video with two photos?
Yes. That is the Couple version: photo 1 holds, photo 2 leans in. You run hand in hand through the rain, then hold each other close: couple hugging in the rain, couple cuddling in the rain, a couple embrace in the rain from the trend's tutorials. It is an ai couple in rain clip of 10 seconds, and it stays tender: no kissing on the mouth. For a hug without rain, see the AI hug page.
Is there a Gemini rain prompt for boys, or a girl prompt?
The same Gemini rain girl prompt works for anyone: the template takes the person from your photo, so it works as a Gemini rain prompt for boys and men too. People look for Gemini prompts for girl in rain, a Gemini prompt girl in rain, rain AI photo editing prompts for girls or an AI girl in rain look; here you just add your photo.
Can I get just a photo, without the video?
Yes. Rain photo makes one still: the ai rain photo effect, the ai rain photoshoot look, the rain photoshoot AI style that people call the AI rain sad photo. It is the cheapest version, you need no rain photoshoot AI app for it, and you can make the Solo video afterwards.
How do I put an AI rain effect on a photo?
Add the photo to Rain photo for the ai rain effect on photo, or to Solo for a video. That is all the ai rain photo editing there is: no editing app, no masks. If you were looking for a rain ai photo editing prompt or a couple rain ai photo editing prompt, both are built in.
Is this the CapCut rain AI effect filter?
No. The rain AI effect filter on TikTok is a CapCut template; people search it as rain filter CapCut, rain filter TikTok, the rain ai effect tiktok template, a rain ai effect app or an ai rain filter app, and watch a rain ai effect filter tutorial or a gemini rain ai effect tutorial to use it. This page makes the same kind of ai rain filter result on MakeViral with no tutorial, Gemini rain AI effect filter tutorial or template link. MakeViral is not linked to CapCut.
Is the Gemini rain filter made by Google?
No. Google's Gemini app gave the trend its name because people pasted the rain prompt there, but the gemini rain filter and the gemini ai rain filter on TikTok are templates made by creators. Gemini rain AI and the gemini rain effect are just the trend's names. MakeViral is not linked to Google.
How long is the video and what format is it?
Couple is 10 seconds and Solo is 8 seconds, vertical 9:16 MP4 at 720p, with the rain, soft thunder and a slow piano. The ai rain effect video plays on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with no watermark. It can take 5 to 15 minutes.
Is it a real photo shoot in the rain?
No. It is ai in the rain: a couple in rain ai clip or a rain sad photo made from your still photos, and nobody gets wet. Keep the AI label on when you post it.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
Only with their yes, and only adults. Never a child, a celebrity or a stranger. Couple photos should be of two adults who both agreed.
